Whenever I try and encode a file with handbrake, everything on my system slows down and becomes laggy as hell. This usually happens when my CPU or RAM is nearly at full use, but when I somehow managed to get Process Explorer open, the CPU usage was at 50%, and RAM nowhere near full. The problem went away when I force-quit the Handbrake processes.

It worked fine yesterday.
However, last night, I had to do a pretty long encoding, so I set it to "shutdown once finished," and turned the priority to High, and went to bed. I figured the problem was the fact that it was on High, so before I shut it down, I went and set it all the way to low, but to no effect, as everything was still laggy as fuck.

Edit: I just tried again, and now it for some reason seems to work. Could it possibly be that the priority change wouldn't take effect until I re-opened the application/re-started the encoding?
